This is one of the slower songs from Nirvana, but it does have a good groove to it. And it also has one of those guitar riffs that sticks in your head for days.

Is this Nirvana's best? No. But it's not a bad song.

Nirvana had a way of songwriting that had real character to it. Whether they played slow, fast or anywhere in between, many of their songs worked well for what they were, and All Apologies is one of them.

The only bad I can say about this song is that it doesn't fit in anywhere. You can't bang your head to it, you can't dance to it, it doesn't have relatable lyrics, it's not happy nor sad. It's just... there. This is why it's not one of their best.
